Calendula Seeds

Calendula are an ancient flower family, and very easy to grow from seed. Commonly known as Pot Marigolds or English Marigolds they have been a staple of the cottage garden since medieval times where they were grown for medicinal and culinary purposes.

Today we still enjoy their bright petals added to salads but we are more likely to grow them for their splendid long-lasting flowers in bright colours, and to attract bees and other pollinators to the garden or veg plot.
